So sorry to hear about your problems with the phlebotomies...I too feel very drained after them...I've passed out a few times...if I happen to be lucky enough to be due for my B-12 shot the week after my bleed it helps...I usually feel weak & exhausted for about a week or 2 after it...I find it helps a little if I have high sugar foods the morning of my phlebotomy...I'm usually scheduled for around 1pm...they usually chalk my fainting & weakness up to the fact that I also have low hemoglobin...I also find it helps that mine are usually on a Friday, so then I have all weekend to rest. Hope some of that helps. Good luck!
